From Bigelow

Mother Nature gave us a wonderful gift when she packed powerful antioxidants into green tea.
But not all green tea tastes the same. To make all natural Green Tea, Bigelow uses only the finest quality tea that has been grown in higher-elevation gardens and gently processed to bring out the tea’s natural, smooth flavor. Each tea bag is then wrapped in its own protective pouch to seal in all the wonderful flavor and freshness.
All natural Bigelow Green Tea takes green tea enjoyment to a whole new level. It’s a great way to help you relax and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

I have been revisiting some of the bagged staples of my tea conversion, and honestly forgot how good some of them are. None compare to a quality artisan crafted oolong, but who can drink them everyday? Not on my paycheck.
I lift my cup with you to bagged staples!

This must be a really forgiving tea. After the first surgery (yeh, I didn’t know they did it in two stages and thought I was all through) I went back to the waiting room to await lab results. I got distracted and forgot to take the bag out of the cup. Oh my goodness, that was one DARK cup of green tea. I sipped it apprehensively. Not bad! Again, this isn’t a tea with nuance, but it was very serviceable and I enjoyed it.

Turns out they made a nickel sized hole in my face, and they had to do a graft to cover it. I still made it to Pottery Barn and Teavana afterward, though! And made a new tea friend in Teavana and invited him to join steepster! So it was a nice day after all and now I have a chocolate shake, made for me by youngest.

Backlogging from this afternoon. Basic green bagged tea pretty much thrown into water of an unknown amount (but probably around 8oz) from an unknown source heated at an unknown temperature. Had this @ ihop with my… New York cheese cake pancakes!!! I almost flipped when I saw them on the menu. Last time I went they were only a special promotion. I hope 52teas comes out w/ more cheesecake flavored teas to celebrate the WONDERFUL decision to make them a permanent item. But in the mean time, any suggestions on what kind of tea to pair w/ these? Because I’m definitely going back soon:) If they come out w/ a cheesecake flavored matcha, I just might have to take my matcha bowl w/ me;)

Part of the sampler from Bigelow that I’m still working my way through. I left two bags at home to use in Chloe, and brought one to work. I’ll wait to rate until I’ve had it brewed at the proper temperature, but with the water from the HotShot, it’s pretty good. Better than I was expecting, since I’m not a huge fan of unflavored green teas. Grassy and buttery are the descriptions that come to mind for this.

Visited my parents yesterday for the 4th of July. After dinner I was craving a cuppa something, so I looked in their very small ‘tea basket’. I found the same three boxes of bagged tea that are always in there that nobody drinks except me (that I don’t even like that much) and then I found this one lone bag of Bigelow green. Someone must have picked it up at some luncheon somewhere and brought it home for the next time I visited? Nobody was able to identify the origin of this lone tea bag.

Anyway, not knowing the best steep time, I brewed it up in a clear mug and went by color. It looked about right after about 1.5 minutes. It was okay. Nothing mind-blowing. It wasn’t bitter and it satisfied my craving. I even went for a second steep and it tasted all right! It was slightly drying to the palate, a little flat, but it was a good, simple after dinner tea. I might even drop the $1.50 for a box of this at the grocery store so I can put it in my parents’ tea basket for when I come over.

Preparation

It’s nice to come across a tea and give it a try for the 1st time….we’re glad you gave the Green Tea a try…..if you’d ever like to try one of our Green Tea varieties, you can always give us a call to request a sample at 1-888-244-3569.
Thanks for sharing your comment, we love to hear them all!
Kathy for Bigelow Tea

Like a lot of people who have posted notes about this tea, I’m having this at work because loose leaf isn’t really an option and I need a little pick-me-up. I quite like it. No, it doesn’t have a complex flavor profile or a lot of depth, but it’s a nice basic vegetal green tea. I oversteep a bit so the bitterness adds a little oomph. This is serviceable.

Okay, this isn’t the best green tea in the world, but it’s far from being the worst.
Green teas have an Earthy taste. Get over it or move on. This tea is mild compared to most. Lightly sweeten it & you should enjoy it.
Easy for a quick cuppa green when you can’t brew the loose leaf stuff.

My backup bags. I drink it when I have no money, have no shame, and/or have no time.

It’s drinkable, actually kind of pleasant. It’s a really boring tea, but it’s readily available wherever I go, and all you need to do is microwave a cup of water and plop it in.

The tea is quite a brown color, and it doesn’t taste very green so to say, it tastes a bit on the black side. If I had to compare it to something, maybe like a hojicha. It’s nice after a big meal, if you’re too lazy to make anything fancy.
